Also in some / many cases even "unsupported" games work out of the box or needs only minimal tweaking. AFAIK most of the issues are with online competitive games which uses anti-cheat.

I think that's an issue. In a democracy you needs to know who proposes what, because you can vote only based on that (at least in theory).

First, we could vote directly for (any) party in the European Parliament, so opinions not reaching the threshold in some countries still could be represented better. And it would make it less likely that people just vote their favorite loca

You can only vote for local parties (at least here), and they send some amount of MEPs to the EP. You can not vote for MEPs / parties / ideologies not present in your country. Let's say I think breaking encryption is a bad th

> Go vote in EU elections. EP elections can be fairly useless, because you don't vote for parties of the EP, just some local parties who may all sit in the side of the EP you don't like.

AFAIK there is a rule like that, but it needs that the proposal was voted down. Chatcontrol was never voted on by the EP. They bring it up every half a year and it would not be voted on until they can be sure it would pass.

Apple was not forced to abandon the Lightning connector. If they would think that Lightning is a better product and keeping it would be positive thing for their customers, then they could still use it (beside a Type-C connector).

I'm not sure about that. These equipment would seen not so expensive if you are a manufacturer who makes tens of thousands of USB cables a day. But customers can not see the difference between good and bad USB cables, just their design

For real eye diagram, a signal / PRBS generator and a high end oscilloscope. Those are in the many-tens-of-thousands of USD range. Debug tools for eg. FPGA transceivers or some redriver chips can measure BER and show fake eye diagrams.

I think most of the cables are just not certified by USB alliance (?) so they can not use those logos.

In that case you buy a ticket and not a movie / game. People buy movies on DVD / BR and they will be able to play them forever. This should be the same if you buy the same movie (with a one time payment) on a website, too. There
